The other personalities who assisted the administration in plugging the breach were also honoured on the occasion.

DC Sandeep Kumar also appreciated the services of religious and social organisations besides individuals for their service to the cause. Dilbag Singh, Chairman, Market Committee, Harike, honoured Baba Sukha Singh on behalf of Cabinet Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar
The Deputy Commissioner said that the strengthening of the bundh is to be carried out for some more days at the breach site. The work is to be done by the Drainage Department and instructions have been issued to the officials in this regard.
Baba Sukha Singh, while addressing the Sangat on the occasion, said it was a tough work but the sect took it up as a challenge. It was made possible only because of the efforts of his followers, he said.
It may be mentioned that the breach had affected life in 19 villages in the area.
